Simple Tips to Get Started at Home

• Make easy swaps. Use plant-based milk (like oat, almond, or soy) instead of dairy milk, and try beans, lentils, or ground plant-based meat in place
• of ground beef for tacos, pasta, or chili. For breakfast, Just Egg is a great alternative to chicken eggs for scrambles or breakfast sandwiches.
• Eat the rainbow. Aim for colorful fruits and vegetables every day—each color brings its own health benefits!
• Add greens to your smoothies. Spinach, kale, or even zucchini blend right in and boost the nutrition without changing the taste.
• Love a recipe? Just search it with the words “plant-based” or “vegan” in front—there’s likely an easy version already out the​re.
